Umbra Collective: Jasmine Nash | The Modern Bride

This is the first of a few posts on the Umbra Collective student runway that I attended last week.

First up is Jasmine Nash's collection The Modern Bride.

Inspired by nature, Jasmine Nash's bridal collection borrows the textures and voluminous silhouettes from the veiled lady mushroom. Created for the modern bride as the name suggests, the collection is full of contemporary wedding dresses with a difference. Each piece is intricately layered, embellished and pleated.

When I saw this gorgeous collection on the runway, it made me really excited to get married. Cost aside, how many wedding dresses would be too many for my big night...

Wolf Lane

My love for clothing stemmed from a young age but I only really developed my own style after I finished university and moved to New York City. The big apple exposed me to ways of dressing I had never seen in Australia and it made me view style in a whole new light. NYC showed me that style isn't about wearing trends or sporting the latest Prada pumps, it's about dressing for you, wearing something that makes you shine with confidence.

Laurence Dacade

My friends and family know how much I've been lusting over these Merli Studded Suede Boots by Laurence Dacade. It was 2012 and I was living in New York when I first laid eyes on them. Since then I have not stopped thinking (or talking) about them.
